⁵ Remember the wonders^(I) he has done,
    his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,^(J)
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,^(K)
    his chosen^(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
⁷ He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments are in all the earth.

⁸ He remembers his covenant^(M) forever,
    the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
⁹ the covenant he made with Abraham,^(N)
    the oath he swore to Isaac.
¹⁰ He confirmed it^(O) to Jacob as a decree,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant:^(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan^(Q)
    as the portion you will inherit.”^(R)

¹² When they were but few in number,^(S)
    few indeed, and strangers in it,^(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,^(U)
    from one kingdom to another.
¹⁴ He allowed no one to oppress^(V) them;
    for their sake he rebuked kings:^(W)
15 “Do not touch^(X) my anointed ones;
    do my prophets^(Y) no harm.”

¹⁶ He called down famine^(Z) on the land
    and destroyed all their supplies of food;
¹⁷ and he sent a man before them—
    Joseph, sold as a slave.^(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,^(AB)
    his neck was put in irons,
¹⁹ till what he foretold^(AC) came to pass,
    till the word^(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
²⁰ The king sent and released him,
    the ruler of peoples set him free.^(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
    ruler over all he possessed,
²² to instruct his princes^(AF) as he pleased
    and teach his elders wisdom.^(AG)

²³ Then Israel entered Egypt;^(AH)
    Jacob resided^(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.^(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
    he made them too numerous^(AK) for their foes,
²⁵ whose hearts he turned^(AL) to hate his people,
    to conspire^(AM) against his servants.
²⁶ He sent Moses^(AN) his servant,
    and Aaron,^(AO) whom he had chosen.^(AP)
27 They performed^(AQ) his signs^(AR) among them,
    his wonders^(AS) in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He sent darkness^(AT) and made the land dark—
    for had they not rebelled against^(AU) his words?
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood,^(AV)
    causing their fish to die.^(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,^(AX)
    which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
³¹ He spoke,^(AY) and there came swarms of flies,^(AZ)
    and gnats^(BA) throughout their country.
³² He turned their rain into hail,^(BB)
    with lightning throughout their land;
³³ he struck down their vines^(BC) and fig trees^(BD)
    and shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke,^(BE) and the locusts came,^(BF)
    grasshoppers^(BG) without number;^(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
    ate up the produce of their soil.
³⁶ Then he struck down all the firstborn^(BI) in their land,
    the firstfruits of all their manhood.
³⁷ He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,^(BJ)
    and from among their tribes no one faltered.
³⁸ Egypt was glad when they left,
    because dread of Israel^(BK) had fallen on them.

³⁹ He spread out a cloud^(BL) as a covering,
    and a fire to give light at night.^(BM)
40 They asked,^(BN) and he brought them quail;^(BO)
    he fed them well with the bread of heaven.^(BP)
41 He opened the rock,^(BQ) and water gushed out;
    it flowed like a river in the desert.

⁴² For he remembered his holy promise^(BR)
    given to his servant Abraham.
⁴³ He brought out his people with rejoicing,^(BS)
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
⁴⁴ he gave them the lands of the nations,^(BT)
    and they fell heir to what others had toiled^(BU) for—
⁴⁵ that they might keep his precepts
    and observe his laws.^(BV)

Praise the Lord.^[a](BW)

⁸ He struck down the firstborn^(A) of Egypt,
    the firstborn of people and animals.

³ My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
⁴ For you have upheld my right^(F) and my cause,^(G)
    sitting enthroned^(H) as the righteous judge.^(I)
5 You have rebuked the nations^(J) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name^(K) for ever and ever.
⁶ Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;^(L)
    even the memory of them^(M) has perished.

⁷ The Lord reigns forever;^(N)
    he has established his throne^(O) for judgment.
⁸ He rules the world in righteousness^(P)
    and judges the peoples with equity.^(Q)
9 The Lord is a refuge^(R) for the oppressed,^(S)
    a stronghold in times of trouble.^(T)
10 Those who know your name^(U) trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken^(V) those who seek you.^(W)

¹¹ Sing the praises^(X) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;^(Y)
    proclaim among the nations^(Z) what he has done.^(AA)
12 For he who avenges blood^(AB) remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.^(AC)

¹³ Lord, see how my enemies^(AD) persecute me!
    Have mercy^(AE) and lift me up from the gates of death,^(AF)
14 that I may declare your praises^(AG)
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,^(AH)
    and there rejoice in your salvation.^(AI)

¹⁵ The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;^(AJ)
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.^(AK)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.^[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,^(AM)
    all the nations that forget God.^(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope^(AO) of the afflicted^(AP) will never perish.

¹⁹ Arise,^(AQ) Lord, do not let mortals triumph;^(AR)
    let the nations be judged^(AS) in your presence.
²⁰ Strike them with terror,^(AT) Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.^(AU)
